    Hi @firefox4

    I suggest that you re-post in 'Ask a benefits advisor' category.

    Hi @firefox4

    It certainly seems that your benefits need looking at!

    From the description above, I cannot tell whether or not you would seem eligible for PIP, but from the information you have given I would say that if you are eligible it probably would not be backdated.

    If you have a local advice agency, I would recommend trying to get in to see someone face to face to have a full benefit check, but if this is not possible then it would certainly do no harm to make a claim for PIP - the worst they could say is no!

    Best of luck with it, and do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Mary
